huh? everyone who I spoken with considers canadian women to be much more relaxed (less irritating) than american women. i guess the grass is green er on the other side.

whadyawant me to say about VWs? Smelly hippies?:lol:

fahrfenugen!

solid fiberglass top should not be difficult to make. the biggest hurdle is raising the gorund clearance and getting the suspension back in spec.

Mount 3rd brake light bracket. remove spare wheel. unbolt spare wheel mount and install new mount. If no spare wheel, make hole into boot thru rear panel. 1a. jack rear of car up. look at area next to gas tank for oem brake light harness to rear passenger brake light. try to fit hand in this area next to fuel pump to release light harness.

Excellent news. best wishes on a very speedy recovery.

the info of the event has been posted over to the SCCA D/E mod yahoo group a few days ago. hopefully there will be some more entries next year. a 13"slick normally runs an inch smaller outside diameter than a 15" street or R comp tyre. 22 vs 23 inches.

video of three runs youtube just kills my quality. gotta try google vids and ask Jeff U if hosting it personally is worth it.

there were no cones stuck under the exhaust nor any timing equipment. i can only hope to have that driving ability some day. till then i have my lucky hat!:lol:

"LOTUS SUPER 7 SERIES 3 Clone. Mada rotary drivtrain, cage legal for level 4 TT, very reliable, $11,000. email cburros@hiwaay.net for pictures and detailed specs or call Jim (256) 837-2007"

and i don't see that much of difference between how much a 7 will be on a cruise and the 340r. though i don't know if a 340r can be plated in the USA. back on topic. if u want to get more utility out of the caterham, u will need to weatherize. the full weather gear( hood, sticks, and side screens). doesn't even appear to have a tonneau either. and i can tell u that those tyres suck. SUCK there's not even a center mirror. u can have my old one if i still have it. that thing will have to be shipped to you. without the weather gear, u'd be hard pressed to go coast to coast. u'd lose points in mine and Cherick's book.:crazy: it does have the alloy fller cap, nice ignition wire cover. and don't worry clams are fine. u just may want to eventually mod them to what Norm beaver has done to reduce lift. i stand by first post. find me next weekend.

GL, not sure i like members bidding on the same car auction though.

clean dash installation in a Locost? That would be a clean installation in a caterham.

also depends on which zetec engine. i have been told that my electromotive Tec3 will not be com patible withe the SVT zetec variable intake setup as opposed to my lesser zx2 zetec. toss into the list Element Tuning's Hydra, but that becomes very powerful if going forced induction. excellent O2 sensor and water injection tuning abilities.

you mean whats sits in the garage isn't?:lol:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&viewitem=&item=330177296106 u should consider this instead:hurray: u better call about that 7. i beleive its missing alot of what u require. u may be spending another 3-10k for the car to do what u want.

an r34 rolled into our tuesday night earlier tonight. we we're talking about getting another one into the USA. its not easy anymore, and it was never easy. the last 2 people who worked as importers fled the country. one to Peru, and the other to europe iirc. all r33s are illegal, and technically all plated r32s and r34s can get impounded by both locals and feds on a whim despite several crash tests that have not been invalidated as of yet. easiest way is just to get one of the ones already registered. now, if u had dealer plates, there's a little gray area you can play with. my friend may get his ex-gf's car in the country that way.

if u start from the USA7s main page which displays all the subforums, u can quickly see where the recent activity is since u last came to the site. i find it quite navigatable. it is different than a usegroup or older bbs setup, but i am also used to quickly scanning thru site sthas have well over 20 sub forums, and sub forums of sub forums.

did u use the zz3's?
